    Temples of Worship.

    I have had the bounty in life from a young age to be able to visit many Temples dedicated to worshiping who I call God. I thought it would be good to share some pictures of places of worship that help mankind pursue something greater than their own selves. I came across this video on the...

    Biggest benefits of leaving a religion

    So, this doesn't only apply to religion, but can also apply to any other group if they don't promote freedom of thought, even an atheist group, and also might not apply to all religions. And it might not even apply to all people who are religious as I know there are religious people on this...

    Tools for Determining the Truth

    I posted this in a different thread and I think it may have merit to be analyzed on its own. One of the discussion that is common on most "religious" discussions is the issue of comparison of beleifs and claims. In this thread I will provide some of the various concepts and ideas I have either...

    Are Atheism and Morality Incompatible?

    It seems obvious to me that atheists can be (and many are) moral, are good parents, are helpful and cooperative contributors to their society, etc. Some religious people however seem to feel or believe that morality consists principally in following the "will" or dictates of one or more...

    Why do people have religious beliefs?

    It seems to me that most people's religious beliefs are those they assimilated as children, or were indoctrinated with by their parents, peers, community and culture. Many others seem to adopt or adhere to religious beliefs as a result of fear, including fear of death, of the unknown, and fear...

    Horrors of synthetic biology: Why science needs religion

    Today I listened to the extraordinary 2019 Ted Talk of Rob Reid “How synthetic biology could wipe out humanity -- and how we can stop it.” Rob first instils chilling fear of the danger of apocalypse and then proposes some measures for mitigation. How synthetic biology could wipe out humanity --...

    How old is man?

    According to "science" man is over 190,000 years old, but according to the Bible man is only about 6,000 years old. Now who is right? If science is right, why does the Bible only tell a story about 6,000 years old? What happened in the other 184,000 years? Were Adam and Eve really the first...

    Why doesn't the Tanakh say that God is only one person?

    Muslims, Jehovah's Witnesses and those who live the Jewish faith claim that but I cannot read in the Tanakh that God is only one.

    Reality and the mind

    Have you ever experienced something you couldn’t explain, or had a dream that disturbed you because it felt so real? Have you ever tried to explain this to anyone only to be told that you have “an over-active imagination”? Since everyone perceives everything in their mind, “reality” can only...

    Were not the Hebrews already in Israel in Egypt?

    At the time when they were on the border of Egypt and when they crossed the Red Sea, the Hebrews were already in Israel. Or weren't they? For according to the Bible, Israel is much larger than the Israel of today. From the Nile River of Egypt to the Euphrates River is the territory of Israel...

    Did the animals talk?

    The Torah says: Numbers 22:28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me three times? And Balaam said unto the donkey, Because thou hast mocked me: if there were a sword in mine hand, I would have slain thee now...

    What does Genesis 1:26-27 mean?

    "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And God created man in his image, in God's image he created him; Male and female he created them." He describes male and female as man and in his image he created man. Does he want to say that he is "male and female" but only...

    Why I like science

    Not sure if this belongs in a debate forum, but felt moved to mention. I like science because in a world with competing mythology science gives us an independent measuring rod to determine which mythologies (if any) are in accordance with reality. In short, I prefer to follow deductive...

    The beast is Hosea's God?

    The God of Hosea describes himself in the book Hosea as a leopard, as a bear and as a lion. Interestingly, the Book of Revelation describes the beast from the sea in exactly the same way. What do you say? Just coincidence? Hosea 13:7 KJV as a leopard by the way will I observe them: I will meet...
